Описание книги

A vampire owing child support . . . A law student stranded in a war-torn fantasy world . . . A trigger-happy collections agent who repossesses unpaid gadgetry . . . . . .and these are the good guys.Why should it be natural to read tales of valor, carried out by heroes who are brave, noble, or even good? Why can't the villain save the day once in a while? Or maybe the damsel in distress? Or perhaps a disinterested third party? Within this collection are thirty-six dark little stories wrapped around the odd theme of «unheroic» individuals making a difference. This twisted, eclectic mix of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror tales will leave you looking at the real world through different eyes. Should the hero's journey only be reserved for the pure of heart? You be the judge.

Отрывок из книги

Broadstrike raced over the moonlit clouds at a leisurely speed of MACH 2. In his early 30’s, the thickly-muscled super villain wore a black-and-red costume. Styled out of impervimesh, the black-and-red outfit clung to him as his second skin. His matching boots and cape both had a snarling skull emblem on them. While he also wore a red mask, it only covered the upper part of his handsome, malevolent face. His dark-blue hair, styled in a military buzz cut, wasn’t covered at all.

Intense, blue eyes glared past the light cloud cover and down toward the rapidly-approaching coastline of Belize. A GPS tracking device in his right glove beeped. Broadstrike abruptly came to a hovering stop. His enhanced vision easily spotted a cluster of lights and a swath of open beach below. He grinned and streaked downward.

.....

Broadstrike eyed his former enemy with renewed respect.

“How much are these worth?”
